95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy & paste it to at least five videos. Don't let classics die.
Nowadays I belong to the older generation who was very young when Deep Purple came up. A friend of mine had the LP "Deep Purple" and I was drawn to "April" played by Deep Purple. With a -little bit romanticizing- good memory of that music I have pity for the young people of today that they have only the crap it is called music these days.
in my opinion the best band of all time...how many facettes a band of 5 people can get...music is communication and everybody who speaks that language in that way is gifted!!! depp purple rocks!!!
@harlekin0263@harlekin0263 . Ich hatte mal eine verkrazte LP mit Lalena, wieviele Mädels bekamen den Namen Lalena in jener Zeit. Der Text ist wirklich zweitrangig.
Ich war vor zwei Jahren bei einem Konzert von Deep Purple und wusste im voraus, dass ich dieses Lied nicht hören werde, aber es war trotzdem ein Erlebnis dabei zu sein
Wow, one of the first for DP. Love Ian Gillan but there is something about Rods voice. Love the picture of him with the headphones. His hair was so short..lol.. All the songs on this CD are great. Chasing Shadows is phenomenal. Great slide show. Thanks for posting.
has anyone notice girls only like bands when they make songs out of girl names .like deep purple april.there is at least 30 girls popping out my name is april.34 girls poping out oh my name is lalena.they most times dont even like the band.i mean who cares if your name is like the one in the song?
@robrampy Of course you're going to mention if your name is in a song. It's unusual and a lot of people think it's cool. I've known guys to do it too, if one of their names is in a song. Plenty of people love songs for plenty of other reasons. I'm a girl, but my name is Erin. I love Deep Purple. I also love Donovan Leitch who did this song originally. This is actually the first time I've heard the Deep Purple version. :)
tu comentario es machista y desagradable, por otro lado el tema "april" no se refiere a un nombre de mujer, sino al mes, como surge de los comentarios hechos por la banda, en el propio disco...
@esperandoelcarnaval look i know april is reffered to the month,and its not my problem ,you dont know how to read,i refered as girls popping out like a damn virus ,saying they are named april or lalena,who gives a godman fuck?all we care is about this great song,i really apreciate you really stop replying .
@esperandoelcarnaval if my comment is something you dont find good.maybe others did,thats why they gave me thumbs up,dont you think,by the way learn to read ok.
Recuerdo esta cansion la primera vez que la escuche estaba e la secundaria en mi pais Bolivia, que lindos recuerdos de Deep Purple forever.............
I was 15 in '71 when I first listened while skipping school at a neighbors. Its one of those songs, hidden in an album that put me in a mood. Thanks dami.
Listen to this on Halloween Eve. Not only the very best quality rock band- but a well written song by Donovan. To all you Goth chickies out there. Greetings out of La Costa...
Has Ian Gillan sang any of these older songs when he joined Deep Purple. Would be kind of weird back in 1969 after they hire him to replace Rod Evans and NOT expect him to sing what they were well known for at that time. I would like to see Ian Gillan try to pull off any of the Rod Evan's stuff.
That is true both Ian Gillan and Rod Evans sand Hush. I would like to have heard Ian Gillan sang the whole of the Book of Taliesyn and Deep Purple albums though.
Donovan Leitch will never be forget! I didn't remember when Deep Purple recorded this, but it's great! Donovan was one of the best '60s composer, and just to you have an idea, I order 2 weeks ago his album Mellow Yellow (I had it on vinyl back then, but it's gone) and it's just Beautiful, It's still fresh as it was in the mid sixties! Pay attention to the "Hurdy Gurdy Man", guys!
Ian Gillan was asked if he had to change his singing voice for any former Deep Purple singer, whom woul it be? His answer...Rod Evans. That says it all. Maybe Rod was not as histronic as his successors, but his voice resonated with passion and emotion. His true masterpiece was to come however...Captain Beyond.
fameux deep purple i like you ever, best song ti amo deep purple per sempre you is an very legend rock deep puple thank PEACE LOVE ROCK .................................beautiful ballad memory (for you)
Child in time of course, it rocks so hard, that song blows my face off still to this day When a blind man cries definalty, good call. Soldier of furtune we should mention as well.
